Ronan: For the sake of spicy, little boys wearing plaid shirts, running around in kneeless jeans, playing in the mud and being mischievous. Other considerations

I love Hyacinth! It's old, obscure, has three syllables, ends in a vowel sound, and has nickname potential. And it's beautiful and wouldn't have pronunciation issues because its familiar as a flower name. Perfect!

If Ianthe isn't pronounced eye-ANN-thee, then how do you pronounce it? Because that's how I thought it was pronounced!

pet peeves: nicknames as given names; unconventional spellings; masculine names on girlsnot-so-guilty pleasures: five-syllable girls' names; virtue and nature names; over-the-top antique names for boys
(if i repeat name suggestions in a thread, it's because i like them! no apologies here for repeats of great names! )
